I recommend getting this anthology at the same time as Morton's Trick or Treat: A History of Halloween, then reading each of the 27 entries after that country or time period's been discussed or the title referenced in Trick or Treat. Bonus points for all the illustrations, even if they're all in black and white. My fave was the "Joyous Halloween" postcard on page 109. You can see it in color here.
Side note: I don't know why but it cracks me up that the first Halloween "book," published in 1898, was a 48-page pamphlet detailing how to throw a Halloween party. Bet those were some wild and crazy shindigs. ( )
